Yankees’ CC Sabathia to Have Knee Surgery

In news sure to make Yankee fans everywhere overreact at top speeds, CC Sabathia has been diagnosed with a minor meniscus tear of the right knee that will require surgery, which will take place on Friday.

"Nothing major," Sabathia said in a text message Wednesday. "[It] nagged me all year. [I] should be ready to work out in three weeks."

The Yankees expect Sabathia to be fully ready for spring training.

For Yankee fans concerned about Sabathia's contract and physical fitness, the quest for Cliff Lee will be even stronger now.
